Inner Refuge Of The Righteous

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your consciousness, the workers of iniquity are merely thoughts that oppress your sense of self. They eat up your energy when you forget to call upon the LORD, which is to forget to acknowledge the I AM that you are. The psalm does not threaten from without; it invites you to awaken to the truth that God is in the generation of the righteous—present wherever a steadfast awareness stands. When you dwell in that presence, the fear that once filled 'there they were in great fear' dissolves, for fear depends on a consciousness separated from its Source. The 'counsel of the poor' — your vulnerable, undeveloped aspects — is not shamed by the righteous, because the LORD is its refuge. In Neville's sense, the righteous are those who stand in the reality that the entire world is a projection of your inner state; as you align with the I AM, you discover that oppression cannot survive the light of awareness. The verse thus becomes an instruction for a practical inner revision: to insist that God is your refuge here and now.
